15 Signs You Should Ask Him Out & How To Make The Move

Should You Ask Out Your Crush?

If you're wondering if you should ask out your crush, wonder no longer! Initiating relationships is scary, but dating the guy you want to date is totally worth it; just ask out your crush. Take the initiative to start a relationship by asking out your man. Here are some signs that you are ready to ask out the guy you've got feelings for!

1. He Hasn't Stopped Flirting

One of the signs that you should be asking out your guy is that he hasn't stopped flirting with you. Whether you're with a group of people or it's just you, your crush flirts with you like it's his job. He'll make it really obvious that he's flirting with you, too, because he wants you to know that he's interested in you. Making a move isn't easy, but it's easier when you know he's flirting with you. The trick to making a move is to make sure that he's only flirting with you and that you're flirting with him, too. You don't want to go around initiating relationships with guys who are playing the field because they don't make great dating partners. However, if he doesn't flirt with other girls and you find yourself flirting with him as much as he's flirting with you, you'll have an awesome relationship!

2. You Really Like Him

If you really like a guy, you're going to want to start dating him. Asking out the guy you're really into is one way to go about initiating relationships. The relationship will be really strong because you care about him so much. If you really like him, you should talk to him and take the initiative to ask him out. Make sure that you're not just into him because he gives you attention or because he's convenient. Don't ask out a guy if you're not really interested in him. But if you are sure about how you feel about him and you want to get into a relationship with him, there's no rule saying you can't be the one to ask him out! Let him know that you like him and chances are, he feels the same way about you and he'll say yes to you asking him out!

3. You've Been Waiting Forever For Him To Ask You

Maybe you've been friends for your entire lives or maybe you've only known each other for a little while, but either way you've been waiting for him to ask you out since you met. You often feel like he's coming close to asking you, but he doesn't and you're not sure why. Instead of waiting for him to finally come to his senses, you'll have to do the asking out. Guys are terrible at making a move and initiating relationships. You might be waiting forever if you're waiting on him to ask you if you want to start dating. If you're tired of waiting for the guy you're into to just ask you out already, that's a sign you have to be the one to start a relationship.

4. He's Giving Off "Ask Me Out" Vibes

You probably give off "ask me out" vibes all the time. It's in the way you smile and laugh at the things he says, or you make sure to touch his arm when you're near him. You'll give him every possible sign that he should ask you out, but he won't be the one making a move. Sometimes you have to be the one initiating relationships. Think about the vibes you usually give off when you want a guy to ask you out. It won't be totally the same, but the things you do when you're trying to get someone to ask you out are a great way to figure out if a guy wants you to ask him out. He'll probably talk to you a lot and never tell you about his past relationships because he wants you to ask him out. It's fairly obvious when a guy wants you to do the asking out. If he gives off the vibes, then you're going to have to be the one making a move so you can start dating!

5. He Shows Up At Your Events

A good boyfriend is interested in the things that you're doing and the things you love. You're obviously interested in the things he does, too, or your relationship won't work out. Dating is a two way street, and dating means that you have to care about the things the other person likes to do. A sign that you should start making a move and ask him to start dating is that he will show up at your events. You may be in a play, debate club, or on a sports team. It doesn't matter, he's going to show up to your events if he's interested in you. If he takes the initiative to try to spend time around you and pay attention to what you like, then you definitely should do the asking out. He's subtly making a move by just showing up, but that's not enough to start dating. You'll have to ask him out if you want it to go further, but him just showing up is the perfect sign that he'll say yes!

6. You Can Always Count On Him

Another sign that you should be initiating relationships is that you can always count on the guy you're interested in. You have to be able to count on the guy you're dating, so being able to count on him before you're dating is really important. Don't think about making a move until you know for sure that you can always count on your guy. Being able to count on him means that he's going to be the guy who will answer his phone when you call him at two in the morning because you just can't sleep. He'll be the one who will pick you up when you're drunk at a party and can't drive yourself home. He'll be there for you when you're sad and need a friend, and he'll be the one who loves you no matter what. If you think that your guy can handle such a tall order, then you should start dating him. All it takes is you asking him out to start dating, so if you can count on him, ask him out!

7. He's Always The Last To Leave

Any guy worth dating will want to be around you as much as humanly possible. You'll want to be around him, too, of course because otherwise you wouldn't want to start dating him. A major sign that you should ask him out is that he's always the first to arrive and the last one to leave whenever you're somewhere together. Your guy will show up early for your parties, your events, and any group outings because he wants to spend the extra time with you. He'll also be the last one to leave, lingering long after your other friends have left and it's time to go home. Others will assume you're already dating because of how often he spends extra time with you. This is a huge sign that you need to get to it and ask him out!

8. He Brings You Gifts

Gifts are a great way to tell if someone is interested in you. If you're not dating, but your crush still brings you gifts, that means he likes you enough to think about you and so you should ask him out. For whatever reason, he hasn't done the asking himself yet, but that doesn't mean you can't start dating. Initiating relationships doesn't have to fall on the guys shoulder. You can be the one to say, "Hey, let's start dating." The gifts can be small things like flowers or even candy, or they can be major things like jewelry or trips to places you both want to visit. No matter what the gifts are, they are a sign that he's into you and a sign that you should go ahead and ask him out!

9. He's Too Shy To Ask You Himself

Shy guys are awesome, but sometimes they take way too long to ask about dating or a relationship. It's not his fault that he's shy, but it can be frustrating when you both clearly like each other but he hasn't just asked you out already. Try not to get mad at him. Instead, realize that him being too shy to ask you out is just a sign that you need to ask him out. Asking out a shy guy is the best thing you can do if you're both clearly interested in dating. It takes the pressure off of him and it allows you to show that you're an independent person who can think for herself. It's important that one of you be at least less shy than the other or you'll never get anything done. Be the less shy one and ask him if he wants to start dating!

10. He Makes Himself Look Good For You

Appearances really do matter in a relationship. That doesn't mean you should only like a guy for how he looks on the outside, but you do have like what he looks like or you won't want to start dating him. There's nothing wrong with that! Guys are well aware of this fact. If they're interested in you, they'll start making themselves look better when they know they're going to see you. If you notice that he's been dressing up a little more when you're going to be around than he used to, it's a definite sign that you should ask him out. He may also change his hairstyle or shave because you mentioned you like guys better with a certain haircut or with a clean shaven face. If he's trying to make sure his appearance is up to your standards, then he's putting in an effort for you. You should ask him out!

11. He Always Remembers What You Say

A guy who remembers the things you tell him is a guy who pays attention to you, and he's the kind of guy you should be dating. A sign that you should ask him out is that he always listens to what you have to say and then he remembers it later. You should definitely ask out any guy who puts in this kind of effort. If he remembers what you say, he'll bring it up again later. Maybe he'll bring you your favorite food because he heard you mention it once, or he'll order something that doesn't include your food allergy because he cares about your health and safety. Pay attention to the signs that he's paying attention to you, and then ask him out.

12. He Gets Handsy (In A Good Way)

You probably don't want to start dating a guy who is gross with his hands, like grabbing you inappropriately even when you've asked him repeatedly not to. However, if he puts his hand on your shoulder or arm when he's talking to you, or he puts his hand on your back when you're walking, then he's trying really hard to touch you without being weird about it. This is a sign that he's totally interested in you and he wants to start dating. Other signs of touching could be that he always hugs you when you see him. This is especially important if he doesn't really hug other girls, but he goes out of his way to wrap his arms around you. Dating a guy who puts you ahead of others is a great thing to do. If you notice that he's getting handsy with you in the best way, you should go ahead and ask him out!

13. You Can't Imagine Your Life Without Him

Think about your life right now and how happy you are to have your crush there to hang out with and share your life with. Now imagine your life without your crush. Is it totally different? Does it make you sad even thinking about the possibility of living without him? These are signs you need to ask him out. There are some people in your life that you could take or leave. If you're going to start dating someone, he has to be in the take column. Picturing your life without him should physically hurt. If that's the case, then you need to ask him out before it's too late! Asking him out now will prevent the possibility of you losing each other before you've had a chance to start dating.

14. You're A Girl Who Can Ask Out Whomever She Wants

There is no guide to dating that explicitly says, "Only guys can ask out girls." You're a perfectly capable girl and you can start dating anyone you want! You're totally allowed to ask him out, and you don't need any signs or reasons to tell you that's true. If you have the confidence and there's a guy out there you want to start dating, go for it! Being a girl doesn't mean you have to wait for a guy to ask you out. Guys can take forever and sometimes they can't figure out if girls are interested or not. Save him the trouble and ask him out. It's the best way for him to be sure that you like him and to show him that you're a girl who will ask out anyone she wants, no matter what.

15. You Compare Every Guy To Him

Your friends may know there's a guy you like but you're not dating him, or maybe they're totally oblivious. Either way, they're always pointing out guys that you could be dating and telling you to go for it with those guys. Every time this happens, you look at the guy and you immediately start comparing him to the guy you wish you were dating. This is a huge sign that you should just go ahead and ask out your crush. First of all, you don't want him to start dating someone else before you have a chance. Secondly, you can't picture yourself dating any guy but him, so you have to take the plunge and ask him out or you'll never be happy!

How To Ask Out Your Crush?

If any of the signs above fit your current relationship with your crush, then you should ask him out. There are a few different ways that you can go about asking him out. Here are a few examples for you to consider when you're deciding how you want to take the step and start dating your crush. 1. Just do it! Walk up to him and say, "Do you want to go out with me?" See what he says! If it's a yes, you'll both be really happy. If it's a no, no harm done. Shrug it off and wait for the next crush to come along! 2. Ask him out, but make it seem like it's his idea. Some guys may not take too well to a girl asking him out. If you're worried he'll get mad that you're asking him instead of him asking you, try to nudge him in the right direction. Say something like, "Hey, we should start dating." This way, you're asking him out, but he also feels like he's the one doing the asking. 3. Ease into it. Subtly drop hints that you think you'd make a cute couple before finally asking him to go on a specific date. Use all of the above signs to your advantage and play up the flirting and touching so it's clear you're both interested. Once he's hooked, plan a date and ask him to go with you. Don't just ask him to go out with you, have an idea in mind so he knows you put in the effort. He'll appreciate that!
